There's nothing wrong with that. You should read Gerald Schroeder.

Two questions: who was Nebuchadnezer, and what was the importance of the cities Sodom and Gomorrah?
|
Nebuchadnezzar was the king of the babylonians who conquered the Judeans and destroyed the first Jewish Temple.
Sodom and Gomorrah were cities that were destroyed for their immoral behaviour. Christianity says its because of their sexual immorality but Judaism says its because of their antisocial behaviour (ie treating outsiders and visitors without respect).
EDIT: probably should explain that by 'respect' I'm referring to having enough respect for your guests not to rape, maim and murder them.
EDIT again: want to clarify that this is not a disagreement between Christianity and Judaism; rather they emphasise different aspects of the Sodomite's behaviour.
